A couple more plague ships from Ham burg put in at the port of New York yes terday to test the theory of President Har rison's administration that simple quaran tine of infected vessels and passengers will answer to save the American public from the scourge of cholera. Upon these plague ships there were nine deaths during the voyage. They bring with them, among passengers and baggage, doubtless, enough cholera germs variously stowed away In places which disinfection may or may not reach to do incalculable mischief unless the utmost vigilance is shown, first, in treatment of the passengers and cargo at ; the port, and afterwards in observing de 1 velopments on shore. There are a great many other vessels, also, heading for Xew York and other ports bringing immigrants from Infected . districts. If the Nbrmannia, the Eugia , and the Moravia the ships now in were ; all, the task of disinfecting, tracing sus- pects upon shore and isolating in case 1 of an outbreak of the disease would be serious enough. But this is only the first chapter. The ad ministration at Washington provides for a serial which may well be dreaded by refusing to take the course,wh?cn common sense demanded, of prohibit!ng immigra tion at oiieeEesIdsnt Harrison (by ad rrtsrfSecretary of the" Treasury Foster, whose course from the start of this busi ness has been utterly without apprehen sion of the need for prompt and decisive action) substitutes for stoppage of immi gration a quarantine of 20 days. This docs not even apply to plague ships now afioat which are left to be specially dealt with according to local circumstances. It 5s not to take effect at all where it runs . counter to State laws and to the judgment of State officials; and it can hardly, by any stretch ot the imagination, be kept up efficiently through a possible winter's campaign along the whole sea coast and the inland frontier. The only ground for hope from the quarantine is that it will make the immi grant business unprofitable to the steam ship agencies. There sre some signs that it will operate in this way. It is due to say that several of the lines express their determination to quit until the plague abates or disappears in Europe. But so serious a matter should never be left to the decision of a lot of corporations whose greed has already led them to send vessels over here with lalse bills of health from infected ports. That they will take as much risk in resuming the steerage busi ness as they did in making their recent shipments is in the line of logical belief so long as there is a prospect of profit for them. They are already gro wling bitterly over the temporary loss of revenue conse quent upon the quarantine order. The possible infliction of the scourge upon this country seems to be only a secondary consideration. The most serious aspect of reliance upon quarantine in place of a complete prohi bition of Immigration is that the cholera germs may show no results on the voyage and yet break out long afterward under circumstances more favorable to their de velopment This happened in 1854, and may occur again. The other and mani fest objections are that if the quarantine work has to be kept up all winter, it will soon come to be perfunctorily done, if not skipped altogether on occasions; and thus a constant menace will bo maintained ,egainst the health of our people. The common sense of the country is that a temporary stoppage of immigration by order of the President, covering the in land frontiers as well as the seaports, is what the occasion called for. The Presi dent, we believe, has the power under the exigencies of the occasion. But even if he over stretched his power in a crisis so grave as this until Congress met, the pub lic and Congress would heartily approve his action. It is our conviction that this very course will have to be taken later on. If so, the President cannot then escape censure and condemnation commensurate with the loss of life and suffering an inefficient quarantine is liable to inflict upon our people. Ho has deliberately chosen to take terrible chances, where he t have made the public safety a cer- AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. )ur esteemed cotemporary,, the Phila hia Jiecord, which has since last spring 3 thick-and-thin organ of Jthe Kead "orabination, lias at last piscovered there are dangerous possibilities In monopoly. It finds that the price of s-i has been raised 35 crnts hiuher than it should be and theace it concludes that extortion is threatened. ine lact is that an approximati to a fair price of coal having been indhpted by the figures at which it was sold, thfe extor tion is something more than a dolhr per B ton. But that is amimportant beside th& principle involved. "What has become of our esteemed colemporary's assurance made in an ex cathedra manner six months ago that the combination would not suppress competition In the coal busi ness; that on " the contrary It wm to bring into existence new com petition; and that the utmost It could do was the much promised and highly praised "equalization of prices?" Our esteemed cotemporary has made afresh the discovery that the result of such combinations is always to equalize prices up and never down; that the absorp tion of parallel and competing lines never Is for the purpose of increasing compe tition; and that when a practical monop oly secures the power to advance prices, it will do so to the uttermost farthing. It is satisfactory that the exigencies of the stock market have permitted that once independent journal to make this important discovery, although it is six months late in doing so. COMFLE3IENTARY DAXK3ERS. Mr. Erastus Wiman has lately attracted the animadversions of a considerable por tion of the press by declaring that the monopolistic combinations of capital are a greater threat to the stability of our in stitutions than the disorders arising out of strikes. It is but fair to say that some of Mr. Wiman's expressions were open to criticism as asserting that there is more need for calling out the military against such a concentration as the anthracite monopoly than against the strikers at Buffalo. That was decidedly injudicious to say the least; but the truth which Mr. Wiman utters is so pregnant that It should not pass without commendation and sup port All the forces which the State can com mand should be employed to put down either the illegal combinations of great wealth or the disorderly acts of working men. The civil power energetically and independently employed can do the former; the military is sometimes neces sary for the latter. Bat while the means necessary to combat these dangers against government by law may differ in degreo it is an important truth that the evil which calls for the leas: show of physical force is the greatest one. In the first place the lawless acts of strikers are always done under excite ment; and as a general rule respect Is paid to the law when the heat of conflict is past. The trusts and pools violate the law deliberately, persistently and with unblushing defiance of legislative enact ments and judicial decisions. A defiance of law by men in high position and as a means of gaining wealth sets an example of lawlessness which is ten times more de moralizing than the repugnant violence of a mob; and experience has shown that it is generally successful in its nullification of law, while the violence of strikers, when resorted to, always defeats itself. Next, the direct results of the combina tion policy in the control of the neces saries of life is more far reaching and in sidious than the violence that wev.,havo lately contemplated. A half djaenor score of people may be injunetf or killed by an outbreak. But the .steady addition to the cost of life mustsacrifice far more. Population being limited by the ability to maintain life,. every absorption or limita tion of the means of living means a sacri fice ci possible life. To those whose maans make an increase in the cost of fuel , for instance, signify only the loss of some luxury, it may not seem a vital matter. Nothing Is more certain, however, than that the addition of a dollar per ton to the price of anthracite coal above the fair figure fixed by competition will, among the hundreds of thousands to whom this means a limitation of the supply of warmth, cut off thousands of lives of in fants or aged people; of the infirm, the ill clothed or the insufficiently fed, the policy of artificially enhancing the cost of life is not less murderous because it does not stand face to face with its victims. The fact is that the great combinations of capital and the masses of discontented are complements of each other. One pro duces the other and each aggravates the other. Together they form tho great threat to democratic government by law, and when -this republic awakens to the gravity of the situation it will repress both with the utmost energy. A WEAK CASH. The question has been raised in tho Borden case whether a magistrate should sit in a preliminary hearing who has al ready acted as coroner in the same case. The legal question may be a doubtful one in the abstract; but in the concrete it is indisputable that a judge should not sit unless he can hear the case impartially. This the magistrate in question lias shown that he could not do, by committing tho daughter of the murdered man without enough tangible evidence to make a shadow of a case. It is rumored that the prosecution has evi dence in reserve. Possibly it has; but the purpose of keeping evidence back does not Justify a committal without a prima facie showing of guilt The decision in this case rests the committal on the fact that the defendant was on the premises at the time of the murd?r and that she has made such inconsistencies in her state ment as saying at one time that she went to the barn to get a piece of tin, and at another that she went to get a piece of lead for sinkers in fixing a door, it being quite possible that she went to get either. On such a case a girl is held on the charge of parricide in the most brutal and shocking form. There is not so far evidence enough to hold a street arab on the charge of prigging fruit from a stand. It is possible that more evidence may be forthcoming at the final trial. Up to the present time, however, the charge against Lizzie Borden, so far as the public is in formed, is wholly unsupported by tangi ble evidence. AX OBVIOUS INCONSISTENCY. The New York World has been investi gating the railway operated by storage battery between Miford and Hopedale in Massachusetts and finds it well adapted for city use. Its report affords strong evidence that the road has a successful storage battery system; that it obviates the overhead trolly wires; that it Is noise less as compared with trolley or cable propulsion; that the electrical power in each instance Is only that required to move a single car; and that a year's expe rience has proved It to be reliable and effi cient For these reasons the World recom mends its adoption in New York. This is interesting and important Infor mation; but its appearance in that es teemed cotemporary marks an inconsis t ency. For some time past the World has been pn blishing attacks on "the deadly trolley," giving lists of the accidents oc curring on lines where it Is in operation. These lists were made up almost entirely of accidents occurring.not from the SDeclal character of the trolley, but from the use of any power giving a higher speed that the jog-trot of the car-horse. Out of thirty to sixty accidents reported in each list from Boston to Columbus, not more than one or two was from electrical sfiock. Now the question for the esteemed World to ask itself Is, if "the deadly trolley" by giving a speed that causes' occasional collisions Is condemned, why the same condemnation does not apply to the stor age battery which will give an equal speed? The success of the storage bat tery is to be welcomed as making pos slbJe the removal of overhead wires which are cumbrous and undesirable. But the howl that has been raised against the trolley system as "highly dangerous" is proved to be insincere when accom panied by an indorsement of the storage system, which carries the same dangers as those which have been alleged as fatal ob jections to the trolley. NOT A GOOD RECORD. The German record In the matter of the cholera is the reverse of creditable. The action of the physicians and men of sci ence is devoted and heroic; but the course of municipalities and Government officials is such as to justify the establishment of non-intercourse by other nations until the plague is over. It may be remembered that while the cholera was still in Eastern Russia The Dispatch commented on the proposal of the Hamburg authorities to ship emigrants from the dangerous districts on condition that they did not communicate with the people of Hamburg. Hamburg was will ing to spread cholera all over the world so that she kept clear of "the contagion. At that time The Dispatcii said that the United States should take early steps to exclude all vessels coming from Hamburg. It is worthy of note that exactly this course was taken with the passengers on the steamer Moravia. Whether the United States was early enough in excluding all vessels from the port that had notified the world of its willingness to dissemi nate cholera remains to be seen. But there is a fearful case of natural justice in the fact that Hamburg was the first city west of the Russian border to be seized by tho disease. The statements that are made giving false figures as to the progress of the disease in Hamburg and Berlin are also examples of an extremely discreditable course. It is well to minimize panic. That can be best done by the thorough precautions which reduce the power of the epidemic to a minimum. Panic may be prevented by cultivating a calm and clear understanding of the methods of combating the disease. But to cultivate a feeling of confldence-on such false grounds as the assertion that there were 139 cases In a day when there are really 486, is nothing short of criminal mendacity. It is, of course, hard to fight an epi demic; but every city ought to do its bast to isolate the disease instead of spreading it, and to tell the truth instead of lying about it THE NEEDED' rNYENTlON. Prof. Alexanier'Graham Bell claims to have established telephonic communication betree.en'two ships at sea two miles apa r Without connecting wires. This convey a promise that the Professor will be able in time to give us telephonic com munication on land without wire. Yet when we come to consider the prac tical results that are likely to flow from such a development cold doubt creeps over us. It is not the stock of wires that costs. If Prof. Bell would discover some way to telephone without using the Instruments which he makes the public pay for several times over each year, that would be an advance if the inventor did not insist on making us pay more for not using the Instruments. Although there is a hint that we might telephone without supplicating central for an hour and a half to connect us with number blankety biank, there is reason to fear that the aerial exchange would frequently prove as variable as the deities who exacerbate our tempers by manipulating the present switchboards. If Prof. Bell wishes to strike a great public need let him invent a way to let the public have good telephone service at reasonable prices. AID THE GOOD WORK. The activity of the city authorities in cleaning up the streets and alleys is very satisfactory; but the work should not stop there. There are reason and sense in the call of the Mayors of the two cities upon all citizens to see that their back yards and cellars are brought into a condition of complete cleanliness. This is a work in which individual effort can forward official action most effectu ally. Now that the public authorities are working with so much energy, every citi zen should contribute his share of the work by putting his premises in perfect order. That will lighten the task of the authorities and leave them froe to attend to the cases in which ignorance or care lessness leaves dangerous spots unat tended to. Every man should feel it his public duty, as well as a measure for his own protection, to do everything In his power to forward the work of perfect sanita tion. MedicaXi authorities are strenuously urging the extreme advisability of using cremation in place of burial for the disposi tion of cholera victims. Such a measure is especially recommended with a view to minimize the danger of a revival of the epidemic next season unless the germs be absolutely destroyed. The suggestion is Just as applicable and worthy of adoption In America as in Europe in the event of tho disease making its appearance in this country. There is little trust to be placed in American quarantine, and the Canadian article is several degrees less reliable. Green goods circulars ought to be changing to sere and yellow leaves. But the passing seasons have no effect on the prosperity of illicit industries deriving their revenues from the folly of a large section of mankind, and tho knavery of some of the rest. An unprecedented increase in McKees port's revenues from fines is a somewhat doubtful sign of that city's progress. The killing of a horse and serious wound ing of a farmer in Ohio by tees is only to be accounted for by the number and vicious ness of tbo winged insects liberated from tho headgear of disappointed Presldental aspirants. The attention of the British press is re spectfully called to tho labor riots which occurred near Liverpool yesterday. People will learn to avoid poisoning by emptying cans of meat as soon as they are opened when wisdom has become universal enoueh to prevent accidents from lighting fires with the assistance of oil cans. Boasting officials is not very efficacious as a defense agalcst cholera, and the better plan is to boil all meat and drink. It is surprising that a clergyman named Husband should have been found misguided and bold enough to express his objection to the appearance of a woman as speaker in a Church of Limland congress. So PAE this has been a campaign of edu- cation in the rules of the ringand the laws of sanitation for the most .part.

Apioposoftho article "Marching Phan toms," which appeared in the Disr-ATCH sev eral weeks ago, a correspondent sends this interesting bit of information! Some time ago the Psychological Society of London distributed in various parts of Europe a paper containing the following question: "Have yon ever, while in good health, and believing yourself to be awake, seen tho fljrure of a person, or heard a voice which was not In yonr view referaole to any external causeT " In Englnnil 17,030 answors wore obtained, and about one In 10 persons who had answered had had some such hallucination in.their lives. The groat ma jority ot these hallucinations consisted of realistic appearances of living men, n small minority of dead persons and a still smaller group of grotesque objects. A remarkable class was that of hallucinations of revoral persons at ono time collective hallucina tions; and a still more remarkable class was of demonstrations coincidental with some distant event unknown to thopeiciplent, snch as the death of the person whose figure had appeared. The president of the'eon gress came to the conclusion that after care ful allowance for all source of error, the probability against thoso coincidences being chance was enormous.

A perfect "bow of promise" as displayed by the Almighty is one of the grandest as well as one of the most beautiful sights in the universal heavens. Rising from no where and resting picturesquely upon nothing, a glorious segment of colors spanning a drip ping sky, swelling and fading in the sun shine, as Intangible as human happiness and as sudden and unexpected as human grief, it elicits the wonder and admiration of the world. Tho Scriptures say it is the sign that the world shall never again De destroyed by flood. Science says it is a natural pheno menon that always existed, contemporane ously with sunshine and storm. The political rainbow is also a bow of promise. It is the creation of man, and shows through the sunklssed clouds, beautiful, shapely, gorgeous, kaleldoscoplo, intangible a promise to the admiring political partisan that the party is all right and the offices are practically already onrs. It rises grandly from political beadqnarters ont of nothing and rests airily upon the same solid basts. Like the heavenly span of Nature, the political rainbow seems to be just over there in the meadow, or beyond the wood, or on the lake, or resting on the mountain and you feel as though you could, if yon happened to be at that particular point, bask delightedly in its divine colors, if not carve them up into actual chunks and carry them borne to amuse the children. Tet no man ever stood on the root of a rainbow, natural or political. It is an optical illu sion. In the manufactuie of rainbows the pro fessional politician is considerably In ad vance ot the Almlzhtv. The latter has thus far succeeded in makinz but one at a time visible to the same eye.

Slealey, of the Courier Journal, who Just came down to national headquarters from Buzzard's Bay. "I used to see him every day in Washington and know him pretty well. He looks younger and is more sprightly of conversation than usual. Mr. Cleveland Is a splendid conver sationalist when you are well acquainted with him and he feels that he can let him self out with freedom. To me he talked un reservedly the other day and I was charmed by his knowledge and familiarity with what is going on as well us by his pleasant man ners. He is a methodical wonder to me al ways. He can anddoes do more work in his way than you would dream ol his doing. Do you believe handwriting to be an index to charactei? Well, look at this.-' Colonel Stealey showed me a personal note from the ox-President containing some duectlons about getting to Gray Gables, The fine, even text of Mr. Cleveland was per fectly lined across the unruled pages, the punctuation was perfect, the arrangement of words at the beginning and end of a line was exaot, the "l's" were accurately dotted and every small "t" bore its appropriate cross. Not a single flourish or unnecessary mark appeared, and the whole was symmet rical from address to signature. It showed the habit of the man as known to the publlo more perfectly than any number of photo graphs or written descriptions a man so drilled to details and so methodical of life that the results appear in everything be does. "Mr. Cleveland receives an immense mall," continued Colonel Stealey. "The number of his letters that appear in print are quite insignificant compared to the whole num ber. They are mostly formal, polito notes of acknowledgment or letters on political topics. His mail probably averages a hun dred a day. Judging from what I saw. His stenographer sorts the mall. op-sns every, thing and lays those that roqulre immediate answer, those that are political ind those that are personal In separate stacks, so that the ex-PreMdent can go through any class by itself. His replies are mostly through a stenographer, though many personal letters are written every day by his own hand. He dictates rapidly and can clear up a good deal of work between fishing hours and yet have time to keep well posted on what Is be ing said about politics in the newspapers. This Is mainly owing to his methodical way of doing tiling. It is wonderfnl how muoh a man can acoompllsh when he goes about things lu that way." Acre on the Peek Report.

The President Should Call Ont DO,000 Vol unteers to Guard tha Bonier. New Havex, Coay., Sept. 3. In an inter view to-day relative to an approach of the pestilence, Prof. Totten remarked to the agent of the Associated Press that the chief dnnger lies in the dlreotion of Canada, and that it is in that region that our "gates" should bo most carefully shut and guarded. At present they are not even shut, and, owing to the intimate commercial relations existing between the two countries and the great length of the boundary, he said there is but ono way to effect a stringent quaran tine that Is to establish a military one, pure and simple. He would have a cordon of military posts established at onoe all along the border, and the intermediate spaces watched and patiolled exactly as in the case of war. t Of course, this "Vould be a mere peaceful domonstratlCi, and ono aimed at cholera suspects Qiily. He pointed out that a wise afiiVilberal construction of the Constitution fully warrants the President of the United States to "call out" and muster into the service such portions of the National Guard or volunteers ns may be necessary to pro vide for the publlo safety. "We are now," Bald the Lieutenant, "fac ing a real emergency, and If action is to be taken on this suggestion it must be at once. Mv proposition is that at least 60,000 volun teers be called for by the President ana duly apportioned throughout the Northern States: that their quotas be ronstered into the regular service and placed in permanent camps along the whole border. Tho term ot enlistment should bo for at least four months, so as to extend into the season of permanent frost. "This is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and should not be lost. It is a splendid chance to learn n grand lessonin practical military campaigning, everyfSt ure of which would and should bo similar to war service except the presence of an armed enemy. In the second place. It will 'insure tho public salety' as no other measure can. Of course the solo object of establishing the cordon will be recognized as a mere protec tion against cholera. "The armies of European nations are now doing Just this sort of duty Austria and Germany, for instance, against Russia nnd why should not wet Tho fact is we should, and I maintain that the President has indis- fiu table constitutional powers in the pre iri ses, and that the exerulse of them to the fullest limit of nls judgment will meet the approval of all concerned." when asked if the number he recommends to be called out 50.000 was not rather high, he replied: "No, by no means; rather the reverse. It were better to place even 500.000 men upon suoh cordon duty for one whole year, and at any expanse, than to have 600 cases of the epidemic smuggled across the border through laek of efficient protective measures. This is a real emergency. The scourge is knocking at the Atlantlo sea ports, and wo are fighting it there: but wo must bo ready for the cases that will snrely come in by the byways and the edges by the score. "The tide of Russian-Hebrew immigration is now heading Canadaward, and we should awake to tho situation. The rezulararmy Is too small to cope with this question. Now is the time to concentrate it. Let, therefore, the President inaugurate this practical 'autumn maneuver' at once, and Its re sultant benefits will be seen before a month has transpired." CLOSE T1JE COUNTRI'S GATES.

The crowning event of the lawn tennis season was reached this last week at New port, and as far as big tournaments go, there will be little of interest in the East until the intercollegiate event early in October. This latter Is usually regarded as the most im portant of the year, excepting, of course that at Newport, and this year it will bring together an unnsual number of first-class players. But the season of 1832 is practically over and it is now time for tho annual assertion that tho year has been the most successful in the history of tho game. The assertlo n is sure to be made, for the in crease in tho nnmberof entries at first-class events like those of Longwood, Saratoga, Southampton and Newport; the intense rivalry of the leading players, and the wide spread interest In the concluding rounds at Newport, where 3,000 people were present at one match all give ample evidence, both that the game is tightening its hold on our youth as a means of recreation, and that speotators find it at least as interesting as ever before. The assertion is equally sure to be combated, for lawn tennis Is compara tively a now game and is not a popular one in the literal Benso of tho word. Conse quently it has met with much adverse criti cism (most of whloh, by the way, I believe to emunate from those who either have not the ability or the opportunity to pu rsue the sport). Wholesome Criticism Stimulating. But wholesome adverse criticism is al ways stimulating to that which possesses real merit, and lawn tennis has thrived in spite of its critics. Still, as Intimated above, its position can hardly be called permanent and secure, and it might be well 'to take an unbiased view of its probable future. It is by no means a trivial subject. On the con trary it Is In a sense a seilons one. A shrewd old Englishman about 200 years ago re marked, "if a man wore permitted to make all the ballads he need not care who should make the laws of a nation." Substitute "sports" for "ballads." and it seems to me that the aphorism is equally true. A nation's amusements have a vital influence on its peo ple. Germany, with no sports worthy of the name.flnds a snbstltute in its unexcelled gymnasiums nnd gymnastio training. France, with neither, finds its amusements in but we all know how Frenoh morals; are criticised, and further comment is unneces sary. It is, or rather has been, urged against lawn tennis that it is "a woman's name." Women play it certainly, and play it welL They doubtless derive from the game much pleasure and benefit, which surely no one would be so ungallant as to begrudge them. However, that Is not what is meant by the criticism. It is a contemptuous expression. Intending to characterizo the came as lazy, easy and effeminate. The soolish criticism, which comes only from those ignorant of tho possibilities or the game, has been well answered by one or America's crack play ers. In the official guide for 169-2 Richard Stevens tnkes occasion to remark: "There Is about as much difference between an aver age girl's tennis game and a hotly contested man's singles as thero is between a girl paddling in a canoo and a four-mile college boat race." And those who have seen the best players or each sex know it Is so. Proof of the Game's Character. If farther proof is needed, look at one of the close matches at Newport last week, which was won only after a bitter contest lattlng five hours. At the end both con testants were so exhausted that they rould scarcely stand. Indeed, this might be taken as an argument that tho gums Is too severe for the average man, were it not for the lact that it is very rarely that a match lasts more than two and a naif or three hours. There is another charge sometimes bronght against tennis, with, it must be acknowledge!.', more grounds for defense. It has been stated with some degree of pride by loading players that tennis is essentially a "gentleman's" gamo, and doubtless many not usually included among those coming under the head of "gentlemen" (In the En glish sense) nse this statement as a sneer at the game. It is absurd to suppose that one must belong to the Four Hundred or be a millionaire in order to play tennis, but vet among the society -people in the East this anxiety to keep the game exclusive really does exist, and in my humble opinion is saie to injure the popularity of the game in time. But there's no need in discussing it far ther. The facts are these: Though it takes a good deal of money to be a "crack," as you must travel around the country nil summer and keep your hand in with other "cracks," yet tennis Is really one of tho cheapest games to play if yon simply take it up for gmusement and exorcise. The outfit is simple and cheap, and in and around this city, for instance, there are half it dozen clubs easily accessible from all points. And at the risk of bringing down on my head the wrath of those who wish to keep the gamo exclusive, I believe it is and ougnt to bo a trume for the people in general. But wo are drifting into argument again, when what we want Is facts. A Strong Tennis Straw. . One important fact is that one of the largest dealers in sporting goods in the city, a firm that caters to athletics all oyer this half of the State, has a larger trade in lawn tennis goods than in baseball goods. The difference was not great, but that thero should be a differenco at all in favor of lawn tennis is enougli to show tho wonderful growth of the gamo. Amateur baseball is not what it was eight or ten years ago, when tonnis had only just began to attract public attention. What baseball has lost tennis has gained. Now why is tenn3 gaining so rapidly in public favor? Simply because you can get moie fun out of it than out of any other gsime. The propelling of a sphore Is the fundamental principle of moat great games, and in tennis we have the principle carried out to perfection. No ono but a player can realize the keen de light of vigorously driving the lively ball here and tuore from a tightly strung racket that gives out a sharp ring at every blow. But the real beauty of tho game lies In di recting the ball to a part or the court out of reach of your opponent. In baseball the catcher feels a thrill of excitement as a runner starts Irom first base before the ball reaches the catcher's hands, and ho doubt less feols a keen pleasure when he succeeds in nailing tho unfortunate at second bag. But this play is comparatively infrequent, whilo tho tennis player almost every mo ment has a similar chance for a speedy, ac cuiute drive of the ball. When your rival is hanging over the net ready for a vicious smash, and yon from a distance of perhaps 30 or 40 feet succeed In "passing" him with a low, hard drive, striking within a foot or so of the aide line, then indeed you havo your reward. Tho bliss a marksman feels at plugging the bull's eye is nothing compared to It; for you have hit your mark and out witted your opponent at tlio same time. A man whp has once tried the game with any sort of success will never rest till he has a racket in his hand again. Tennis has u fnsclnation that is irresistible. Long life to the noble game! Surprises of the Tournament. Platers are still marveling at the start ling surprises that occurred at tho cham pionship moetingjust concluded. The way the young blood pushod to tho front was simply astonishing. Three of tho last four left in the tournament were under 21 years of age. To be sure, Campbell, who last Wednesday von the championship of Amer ica for the third time it only 21 himself, but ho is an exception. It will probably be many a long year bofore three boys again win their wuy to tho semi-finals at Newport, and Lamed and Wronn In particular de serve alt the praise they have got for the plucky nnd successful contests with old and tried veterans like Slocum nnd ICnapp. As both these old-timers were in good form and had been practising hard, it is certain that the game was better played, at Newport this year than over bofore. Theso annual tournaments, though only a very small proportion of tho county's play ers contested lu them, are yet a great im petus to tho game, as they show how it ought to be played and stir up the ambition of younger players. The same tiling is noticeable here In Western Pennsylvania where the standard of play has improved immonscly since wn have an had annual tour nament for the championship ot this end of tho Stato. Mr. J. C. Grogan was building better than he knew when he presented the handsome silver trophy to tlio Pittsburg Tennis Club lor open competlon, and he cer tainly deserves the thanks of the tennis-loving community. In the lour years in which the cup has been oontested for it has not been won twice by the same player. There Is probably not a challenge cup in the coun try with such a record. The interest taken in our local tennis this year was greater than evor before and it is to be hoped that next year will Dring a still further advance, lu all that pertains to lawn tennis. Wtlie.
